…and we've found ourselves home at the blueridge again

Archive for September, 2010

I am excited about fall! I went a little crazy this weekend buying pumpkins…I might have bought 3…Nathan & I made Halloween garland and Clemson football got exciting this weekend. I wish I could have said we won in overtime 😦

Before leaving the mountains, I insisted that Nathan take me apple picking, and not just at any orchard. I wanted to go to Skytop, and boy, I am glad I did! The orchard was huge and the apple cider doughnuts were AMAZING!!! We picked golden delicious, honey crisps and Granny Smiths (and maybe some others). I wanted to pick them all 🙂 Nathan let me pick a half-bushel, and despite Dad’s omen, I didn’t let any rot! I used them all. I made apple butter, apple cake, and of course just ate them fresh!

We started the weekend off Friday night at Chad & Brittany’s rehearsal dinner out on Isle of Palms. It was gorgeous & delicious! Then Saturday, Chad & Brittany were married and had a fantastic reception out on the Stono River (i think). SB was beautiful–her peek-a-boo veil was just perfect!

The sunset on the Stono River couldn’t have been prettier.

Sunday morning we woke up early to head to Lake Lure, NC for Ryan & Audrey’s wedding. It was at an outdoor gazebo on the lake. We looked out onto a stunning mountain face. It was such a romantic setting. I wanted to stay in the mountains for a vacation. Audrey was gorgeous, and had that classy old Hollywood vibe going on. Their cake was unique & delicious cake–i had a slice from the strawberry layer.
